Former Nebraska volleyball player Merritt Beason opened up about her plans to compete at the Olympics

Former Nebraska volleyball player Merritt Beason recently appeared in the 115th episode of the US Volleyball podcast, where she made her feelings known about competing at the Olympics. She revealed that she has always dreamt of competing in an Olympic event since childhood.

"That was something that I've always dreamed about as a little girl. I think a few years ago I would have said I'm going to finish my college career and I'm going to be done just because I didn't enjoy the sport anymore, I didn't really love it anymore but as I'm getting the love for the game back again, I think that's something that I would ultimately love to do, I am kind of taking it day by day right now. I am still trying to figure out how Volleyball works," Beason said.

Beason won the AVCA Region Player of the Year in 2023 and was also a part of the AVCA All-America First Team in the same year.
